2008 Season

Played his first full year on the Champions Tour from the Career Victory Category and managed to place among the top-40 money-winners, his highest finish on any money list on any Tour since 1993 when he was ninth in PGA TOUR earnings that season. Registered four top-10s, including a pair of runner-up finishes in the first two-thirds of the season.

Dick's Sporting Goods Open: Had another T2 in the summer when three successive rounds in the 60s led to a T2 effort at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open in July. Was among the leaders throughout the event, and second-round 65 at En-Joie GC proved to be his low round of the campaign. Along with Gary Koch, finished one stroke behind eventual-winner Eduardo Romero.

Turtle Bay Championship: Started his year on a positive note with a T2 at the Turtle Bay Championship, thanks to a birdie on the last hole.
